Michael Pena, the police officer accused of raping a 25-year-old teacher in Inwood last week, believes the Manhattan DA is targeting him because of the acquittal of two officers accused of rape earlier this year.

Former NYPD Officer Franklin Mata has been sentenced to 60 days in jail for official misconduct. His former partner Kenneth Moreno, who was also convicted of official misconduct, was sentenced to a year in jail on Monday.

It was the verdict that shocked the city. On Monday it was the sentence that shocked the defendant. The ex-cop acquitted of raping a woman, but convicted of misconduct, was given a year in jail, even though probation recommended he walk free.
